-====== Munin ====== 
- 
- 
-We're running munin for some out of the box monitoring fun, which can be seen at https://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/restricted/munin/. 
- 
-To add a new host to this, on the box you wish to monitor: 
- 
-<code> 
-colin:~# apt-get install munin-node 
-... 
-colin:~# vim /etc/munin/munin-node.conf 
-</code> 
-and add... 
-   
-  allow ^193\.62\.81\.11$ 
- 
-and don't forget to... 
-   
-  colin:~# /etc/init.d/munin-node restart 
- 
- 
-Also on davros, edit ''/etc/munin/munin.conf'' to add: 
-   
-  [colin.tardis.ed.ac.uk] 
-      address 193.62.81.8 
-      use_node_name yes 
-

- 
-====== Custom plugins ====== 
- 
-Some custom plugins have been written to monitor: 
-  *  The number of items in the support inbox 
-  *  The number of people logged into gallifrey 
- 
-[[wotan]] uses the IPMI monitoring plugin from [[http://svn.noreply.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/munin/ipmi_sensor_?root=WeaselUtils&view=log|here]].  It has been changed to suit the idiosyncrasies of WOTAN's IPMI implementation.  These changes should be documented some time... 
- 
-[[piper]] uses the standard sensors_ plugin, which relies on data from lm-sensors. 
- 
- 
-====== Malcolm ====== 
- 
-  *  Munin occasionally sends reports to [[malcolm]], bung's irc bot, for example when cpu usage exceeds a threshold. These alerts can be seen in #tardismon
